Three Major Mistakes When Buying Paints and Coatings: Did you know that paint can be consumed? From zero VOC to today’s low-carbon, eco-friendly options, from scrubbing to covering cracks, there's a constant stream of high-environmental, high-performance claims. According to experts, many consumers are influenced by these marketing tactics and fall into the misconception that “the more environmentally friendly, the better.†Here are three common myths — let’s take a closer look! Myth 1: Zero VOC is the Best Like other building materials, the environmental friendliness of coatings has become a major focus for both businesses and consumers. The term "VOC" refers to volatile organic compounds in the paint, which are key components of the main film-forming material. These substances help increase the viscosity of the paint, allowing it to stick to walls effectively. If the VOC level is too low, it might lead to problems like peeling, bubbling, cracking, or reduced scrub resistance. Some manufacturers lower VOC levels by adding more water, which may result in poor-quality paint. However, all certified paints sold in the market meet national standards, ensuring they are safe and environmentally friendly. So, as a buyer, you don’t need to obsess over VOC content — just make sure the product is certified and meets quality requirements. Misunderstanding 2: Overemphasizing Self-Cleaning and Scrub Resistance Many paint brands highlight self-cleaning properties and high scrub resistance as selling points. While self-cleaning is often used for exterior wall paints — meaning the paint resists dirt and can be cleaned by rain — this feature is less relevant for interior walls. Most indoor cleaning still requires manual effort. National standards require at least 300 scrub cycles, but some products claim up to 10,000. While higher scrub resistance is a good sign, it also means a higher price. In reality, most homeowners won’t scrub their walls daily, so chasing ultra-high scrub resistance isn't necessary. Misunderstanding 3: Thinking Crack-Resistant Paint Covers Cracks A common belief is that crack-resistant paint can cover existing cracks. However, crack prevention and crack coverage are two different functions. No paint will stop a wall from cracking if the underlying structure is unstable. Some elastic coatings are designed for exterior use and have thick films, but they’re expensive and not typically needed for interior walls. National standards don’t specify elasticity for regular paint, and unless you live in an area with frequent foundation issues, you probably don’t need to invest in such specialized products. Experts recommend checking paint reports and considering factors like alkali resistance. Poor alkali resistance can cause yellowing over time. By doing a thorough analysis, you can choose the right product that meets your needs without falling for unnecessary hype.
